Seafair Fleetweek

Seafair is proud to welcome the men and women of the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and Canadian Navy each year to Seattle’s Elliott Bay waterfront. The arrival of the ships and sailors for Seafair is a tradition rooted in the formative years of the festival over 60 years ago. Over 5,000 sailors will disembark a half-dozen U.S. Navy, Coast Guard and Canadian vessels for a short liberty pass and the opportunity to take part in the high-speed Seafair action on Lake Washington. The Fleet will make its entrance in Elliot Bay on Wednesday, August 4 between approximately 12:30pm and 1:30pm. Show your support by welcoming the Fleet at Bell Harbor as they parade through Elliot Bay.
